I’m unsure as to who made this!? Between the color combo and flowers (yes,again!), I need to check my temperature. Haaaaa! I try to stretch out of my comfort zone now and again, and let me tell you, this one is a huge stretch for me. 😉 Should hold me over for awhile.

I had to splatter the inside of the card to balance myself out a bit. LOL.

Oh, and be sure to stretch your dies! I did so a few times on this one with both the Blueprints 23 and the Jumbo Fishtail Banner STAX. You can get a bigger bang from your supplies. 🙂

I double die cut the Jumbo Dot Cover Up after inlaying the first set of circles. When you do this, you can’t exactly tell where you are cutting because the die is solid, but it worked out. 🙂Polka dots… love ’em! 🙂

I made a second card with some left over dots. It’s been a week of “hmmm, that’s not quite what I was thinking it would look like…”. Too funny. It’s still fun to send a shaker, right?

I popped up the black front panel in hopes that Sour Apple would show through the window a bit, but…not so much. Ha!! 😉It’s already growing on me more though. 🙂

Poof! Here’s my take:This is a project that looked one way in my head, and came out another. Meh, that’s ok 🙂I made a second card based on this MFT Sketch #230. This is an even looser take, but the sketch still comes through. 😉

For this card, I challenged myself to get it made and be in bed before midnight. I succeeded :). (‘Fastest Turtle’ for a reason: I’m slow. But let’s call me, ummm…”deliberate”, OK? 😉 ) It helps that I save 98% of my scraps. I used some from THIS card. Hooray for being frugal! Ha! 🙂I thank one of my (many) enablers, Erin, for the sweet hook up on this Balloon STAX set. She’s a stinker like that. 🙂

My Favorite Things Die-namics is being featured in CREATE Magazine this month! Whoot! The idea was to use one of two dies in interesting out-of-the-box ways. I, of course, chose the Proof Positive Cover-Up because, well, it is freaking awesome. So then I went mad. I die cut the plus signs in all these different colors and then pieced them together. Then came the *hold your breath*. If I screwed up my next die cutting, the time I spend piecing these would be for naught. Fortunately, I lucked out! 🙂 Phew! Insert *big sigh of relief*. LOL. 🙂 Silly silly.

I thought it turned out pretty cool. I’d love to try it again using different color combos and different shapes. 🙂 Hope you’ll check out this issue of CREATE Magazine to see all the other awesome MFT projects!
